Re: Windy as fook amble out!

It's High Force, over near Durham. It's a pretty spectacular stop off point!

Nice roads leading up to it as well.

Re: Need a SatNav

I had a nokia lumnia which had all uk maps stored internally, which meant it didnt use data to use the sat nav. You could also tell it to ignore motorways etc it came in handy a few times.

My Hornet was named the Ginger Beast, on account of it being Ginger.

My Tiger is Black Beauty, after the horse. That's because I fell off it the first time I rode it!!!!
